Netzer-Russell Consulting LLC

Netzer-Russell Consulting LLC, a small business engineering and technical services contractor based in Ridgecrest, California, operates as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) specializing in naval aviation and air warfare analysis, test and evaluation support, and combat systems engineering for the Department of the Navy. The firm is structured as a for-profit limited liability partnership and competes predominantly under small business set-asides on its core Naval Air Systems Command work, though many individual delivery orders carry open competition designations once issued under the firm's underlying small business IDIQs.

Customer concentration is absolute and singular. All 23 awards in the source dataset fund Navy programs; Naval Air Systems Command accounts for nine awards with $23.4 million in combined potential value, Naval Sea Systems Command anchors six awards with $10 billion combined potential value, and Naval Air Warfare Center accounts for five awards with $12.9 million. The massive disparity between Naval Sea Systems Command's dollar ceiling and the more modest Naval Air Systems Command figures reflects the structure of a large Naval Sea Systems Command indefinite delivery contract that carries a substantial option value but has seen limited near-term task order activity relative to the smaller Naval Air Systems Command single-award IDIQ.

Netzer-Russell holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract N0024424D0003 (Naval Air Systems Command, total small business set-aside, $18.985 million, awarded March 22, 2024, through March 21, 2027) that serves as the primary delivery vehicle for the company's core naval aviation work. Eleven task orders have flowed under this IDIQ, including a $1.010 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order for VX-9 HOL engineering services (September 2025), a $879,338 order supporting Growler electronic warfare aircraft analysis (July 2025), a $595,655 order for air-to-ground weapons support (December 2025), and a $242,019 order for VX-9 IRST infrared search and track capabilities (December 2025). The firm also places work under Seaport Next Generation (two task orders, $3.9 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract N6893622D0038 (Naval Sea Systems Command, two task orders), and SeaPort-e (two task orders). Recent delivery orders span cost-plus-fixed-fee structures with completion dates through mid-2026, and work is performed in Ridgecrest, California and Patuxent River, Maryland.

Netzer-Russell's capability portfolio centers on integrated battlespace arena systems engineering, air warfare analysis, combat avionics support, infrared detection and tracking systems, and air-to-ground weapons analysis for naval aviation platforms including the F-35, EA-18G Growler, and the Navy's test and evaluation squadrons. Across SCI-reportable service contracts from FY2022 through FY2024, the vendor delivered 3.4 FTEs in 2022 and 0.3 FTEs in 2024, all in a subcontractor capacity; the source does not capture the firm's prime work through SCI due to reporting thresholds or classification restrictions typical of Naval Air Systems Command contracts. Subcontract work includes F-35 Integrated Product Team support and combat avionics incremental funding task orders under Advanced Systems & Software Engineering Technologies LLC (July 2024), reflecting selective use of teaming for specialized subsystem efforts. Within the next twenty-four months, three awards carrying $1.8 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion, creating modest recompete activity but insufficient to signal material cliff risk given the firm's dominant position on the core Naval Air Systems Command IDIQs running through March 2027.
